IBIZA ARTAll about Art & Artists on Ibiza

- Artists on Ibiza get
deeply inspired by the legendary mystical spirit of the island -

Throughout
centuries artists on Ibiza are being inspired by the mystical spirit
and the immense beauty of the island. Its famous landmarks, such
as
ES VEDRA and its symbols, such
as the Phoenician Goddess TANIT, were portrayed innumerable
times.
Mystical vibrations and creativity are experienced immediately after arrival on
this island, that breathes pure energy.

Ibiza, still untouched in the
fifties,
with inhabitants who were particularly tolerant, as a result of
centuries of domination by many different cultures, was a place of
refuge for many artists from around the world wishing to leave behind
the postwar atmosphere in their countries.
The beautiful island of
Ibiza with its bright light and contrasts, together with a high degree
of freedom and tolerance, proved the perfect source of inspiration that
all artistic people were looking for, to give
shape to a new ideal of light and freedom.
Some artist stayed only a short while, while others fully embraced the
hippy lifestyle and continued their artistic process for a long time, or
may even still live and work on the island.
During those days many poor artists paid their bills with their artwork.
One of the reasons you find art on the walls of many remote bars and
restaurants on Ibiza.
’Surprising’ art is found everywhere in Ibiza.

Hidden in a forest
you might encounter a statue, or a fairytale house of recycled
materials. Somewhere remote, where you least expect it, you
stumble upon a colorful mural on an abandoned stone building and
the cave at Atlantis, popular among artists and hippies for its
surrealistic look, is more or less covered with murals,
sculptures and altars for Buddha & Tanit

Over 60 years later,
the immense beauty of Ibiza still attracts artists of all disciplines from
around the world, and still today they are not only attracted by the
beautiful, unspoiled landscape of the island but also by the ideal of
freedom and tolerance that its inhabitants strongly
promote, that is a source of inspiration for many young artists,
who by staying in this beautiful island give impetus to new and fresh
artistic expressions.

Some of these local artists have joined art groups, few are
asked to exhibit their artworks in a joined exhibition or
gallery, while others expose their work in their workshops,
home, garden or street.
If you are interested in local artists, than the RUTA DEL ARTE,
an initiative of the ART CLUB IBIZA with over 100 connected
artists on Ibiza, provides the perfect opportunity, to meet with some of
them, in their own workshop or studio and learn what
inspires them most of Ibiza and at the same time enjoy the
beautiful landscapes of the island while following the art route.

Art
is found at the countless art
galleries spread over the entire island of Ibiza, displaying
an interesting mix of modern art, photography and various fascinating
pieces in frequently run Art Exhibitions by local and international artists !

Vamos a IBIZAArt exhibition of 50
years visual arts & literature by Dutch artists in Ibiza

In the
fifties a number of Dutch
writers and poets, such as. Cees Nooteboom, Jan Cremer, Harry Mullisch, Simon Vinkenoog fled from the narrow minded postwar
atmosphere in the Netherlands to find new inspiration in Ibiza.
Also
Dutch visual artists such as Lei Molin painter,
Cas Oorthuys illustrator and Waldemar Post photographer,
found their inspiration on Ibiza.
Later on new generations of artists came to the go-as-you-please
atmosphere of the island, including digital artists Micha Klein,
(worked several seasons at various locations and clubs in Ibiza,
performed in Amnesia, Privilege, Pacha & KM5) and
Danielle Kwaaitaal that both projected their designs in club Pacha, a famous
and trendsetting club on Ibiza.

In 2007 the Groninger Museum, Arti et
Amicitiae and a cultural organization in Ibiza realized a unique survey
of visual arts and literature by Dutch artists who visited, or
lived in Ibiza over the past half century, with focal point Jan Cremer’sactivities in the 60-ties
and Micha Klein’s in the 90-ties.

Beelaerts, Roeland Kerbosch, Ivo Hendriks, Lei Moulin, Cas
